It ended up being a great \u201cCamp Coleman\u201d outing. (Reggie and I are \u201cco-directors\/administrators\/counselors\u201d at this camp that is designed exclusively for our 2 kids \u263a.) It was a perfect \u201ccamp\u201d outing\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. There were arts and crafts.<\/strong><br>\nPopsicle stick characters: The kids simply cut out square images of their favorite <em>Electric Company<\/em> characters and pasted them on the tops of popsicle sticks. Then, they colored background settings on a piece of construction paper. Then, they acted out scenes using their popsicle stick puppets. It was such a simple craft, but the kids really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/popsicle-puppets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-17186\" title=\"popsicle puppets\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/popsicle-puppets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. There was physical activity.<\/strong><br>\nSean loves to dance, but he was too shy to dance at the actual event. Rather, he asked for the DVD of the dance that was being looped at the event. (Sorry kid. There\u2019s no DVD, but there is a YouTube video, \u201cHow to Slide and Drop\u201d.)<\/p>\n<p><\/p><center><object width=\"500\" height=\"375\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/yP47tzvqGhw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"><embed width=\"500\" height=\"375\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/yP47tzvqGhw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/object><\/center>\n<p><strong>3.
